Norway's China Strategy

Embassy //

China’s development, the new role the country is playing in the world community, and the growing economic and geopolitical importance of the East-Asian region present both opportunities and challenges for Norway. The Government has therefore developed a strategy that sets out Norway’s aims and priorities vis-à-vis China.
